FNDS3000 CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FNDS3000 Corp (the Company, FNDS3000, we, our, its or us) and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial statements. Therefore, they include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010 of FNDS3000 Corp which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2010.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of FNDS3000 Corp and its subsidiaries present the audited consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2010 and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 30, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
All references to fiscal periods apply to our fiscal quarters, which end on the last day of the months of November, February, May and August, with August 31 being our fiscal year end.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2 Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2010, our working capital was approximately $2,000, and we have incurred losses in excess of $17,000,000 since our inception. Our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through privately placed equity financings, and we will continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financings. However, due to the current economic environment and the Companys current financial condition, there can be no assurance that our plans will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding our estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital. Additionally, we expect, but cannot provide assurance that operating revenue from the sales of our products and other related revenue will continue to increase.
These factors, among others, indicate that there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable length of time. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty nor do they include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 Formation, Background and Operations of the Company
Corporate History
FNDS3000 Corp was incorporated on January 24, 2006 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Our fiscal year end is August 31.
On March 28, 2008, the Company, in accordance with a written consent of the Board of Directors, as well as the consent of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, amended the Companys Articles of Incorporation to change the Companys name to FNDS3000 Corp from FundsTech Corp.
In 2008, FNDS3000 became the very first non-South African company to receive MasterCard certification in that country, which was a fundamental objective for advancing our business plan. Next, we succeeded in establishing our base of operations in Johannesburg, which will ultimately serve to support an anticipated global customer base concentrated in Africa, the Middle East and in Southern Europe.
During December 2008 and January 2009, a change of executive management occurred and Sherington Holdings, LLC (Sherington) became a major investor.
In May 2009, we sold the Atlas subsidiary, which was purchased in July of 2008.
In the summer of 2009, we completed the Pilot Test Phase of our processing platform in South Africa, during which time we implemented further product enhancements, together with comprehensive customer service operations and advanced our fraud prevention protocols. Our comprehensive test phases demonstrated stability and validated the processes and systems that are required to handle the higher volume of prepaid cards to be processed during the Production Rollout, which was scheduled to commence in late December 2009. During these phases, we tested, developed and enhanced our systems, processes, infrastructure and the operational team. This process included extensive internal testing and validation. Subsequently, we had our South African processing procedures and electronic funds transfer system reviewed and validated by our Sponsor Bank, and by the staff of a top international auditing firm.
One of our key distributors, Australis, encountered internal difficulties during the latter part of 2009. These difficulties increased during our second fiscal quarter, December 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010 and ultimately led to an agreement in March 2010 between the Company and Australis to terminate the agreement between the companies. Thereafter, FNDS3000 Corp entered into direct contractual relationships with the former customers of Australis.
After integrating a mobile banking solution into our processing platform in the fall of 2009, we concluded the Market Test Phase of our processing platform and commenced Production Rollout of our prepaid payroll programs to businesses in South Africa on schedule in late December 2009.
Early on in our Production Rollout phase, our distributors and corporate clients encountered logistical and procedural delays in distributing cards to cardholders. We found the process significantly slower than expected, which adversely influenced the speed and rate of card activation. As a result, the Company refocused staff on supporting and assisting distributors and corporate clients in meeting this challenge. Although we are still in the early stages of our Production Rollout phase, key metrics and emerging trends are indicating that we have begun to achieve growing market acceptance.
During the months of December 2009 through May 2010, the Company further developed its plans and programs for micro-financing, which offers particular attractions in high-volume potential repeat business without the challenges of distribution as the cardholder is present at the time funds are loaded to a card. From May through August 2010, we received 13 applications from micro-lending companies interested in utilizing our prepaid microfinance card solution. The initial response to the program by both participating micro-lenders and their customers has been very strong, leading us to believe that this service offering could become a material contributor to our near-term revenue growth and a major component of FNDS3000s future success.
In July 2010, the decision was made to appoint Robert Klein, a Sherington consultant who had been working with the Company since October 2009, as President and Chief Executive OfficerSouth Africa to lead the day-to-day operations of FNDS3000 South Africa in order to further strengthen our South Africa operations team, marketing and contract management expertise, thus positioning our Company for its next critical growth phase.
As of September 29, 2010, the shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company voted to remove, without cause, David Fann, John Hancock, Don Headlund, Ernst Schoenbaechler and John Watson from their positions as directors. Additionally, the size of the Board was reduced to five directors.
7
Also on September 30, 2010, several changes occurred to the composition of FNDS executive management. The Board removed John Hancock, President and CEO, and John Watson, Executive Vice President, from their positions as executive officers of the Company and David Fann resigned from his position as Corporate Secretary. In conjunction with these changes, the Board appointed Raymond Goldsmith as President and CEO, Riva Smith as Corporate Secretary and Derek Mitchell as a director of the Company. Mr. Mitchell has served as Director of Business Affairs of International Sports Multimedia, Ltd. (ISM) since January 2009. Raymond Goldsmith, the Companys CEO and Chairman, is the founder, Chairman and CEO of ISM. Since 1998, Ms. Smith has served as Executive Assistant to Mr. Goldsmith in his capacity as Chairman and CEO of ISM.
On October 23, 2010, Victoria Vaksman resigned her position as Executive Vice President, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
On November 23, 2010, the Board of Directors amended the Bylaws to provide that the annual meeting may be set by the Board of Directors at its discretion and to reduce the size of the Board to four members.
The delays we have experienced associated with card distribution and activation extended the period during which the Company must expend funds without having significant revenue, leading to the need for additional financing. Sales of approximately $11.4 million of our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, along with convertible notes for $1.5 million have provided the required financing.
Because we cannot anticipate when significant revenue will be generated, we will need to raise additional funds to continue to execute our business plan, respond to competitive pressures and to react to unanticipated requirements or expenses. We have previously estimated that delays could negatively affect our funds at an estimated rate of approximately $250,000 per month. In October 2010, we raised $1 million through the sale of our common stock and estimate that we will require approximately $1.75 to $2.25 million to carry out our business plan for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2011 from December 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. These funds will provide us with necessary working capital to support our South Africa business operations while we work toward achieving positive cash flow, as well as to finance planned growth initiatives in that market, which includes implementing software enhancements to our current payment processing platform to support our anticipated growth. We will require additional funds to provide for strategic expansion of our business into other targeted developing prepaid markets. We plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.
Note 4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation/Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has working capital of $2,277 as of November 30, 2010. These conditions raise doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty nor do they include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNDS3000 Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries: FndsTech Corp. SA. (Pty) Ltd., Atlas Merchant Services, LLC (includes activity through the sale date of May 14, 2009), and Transaction Data Management, Inc., which is inactive. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the November 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the November 30, 2010 presentation. Of particular note, for improved comparison of card- and transaction-related cost to
8
revenue, certain non-transactional costs are now presented as Processing, Technical and Financial Expense and are included in Operating Expense rather than as Cost of Revenue. Due to this adjustment, the gross margin for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $41,718 rather than a loss of $29,640, an increase of $71,358.
These adjustments did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated net loss for any period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. In particular, the depreciation and amortization as well as the determination and valuation of stock option grants are significant estimates. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an adequate amount of cash to continue as a going concern, that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover potential losses in our receivable portfolio, and that all long-lived assets are recoverable.
The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards, short product life cycles and price competition, all of which could influence the future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.
Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Included in the Companys cash on hand, and pursuant to the Companys agreement with Mercantile Bank Ltd., our sponsor bank, is approximately $37,000 of restricted cash held in a money market account.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in Jacksonville, Florida. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company also maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in Bryanston, South Africa.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of fees generated through the electronic processing of payment transactions and related services, and are recognized as revenue in the period the transactions are processed or when the related services are performed.
Our revenue is derived from the following:
|
Initiation fees from sales of our prepaid and stored-value cards. |
|
Transaction fees from the use and loading of cash for the prepaid and stored-value cards. |
|
Maintenance fees for continued activation. |
9
|
Financial float fees, which arise from cash obtained with the instant load of cash and convenience of prepaid cards before the funds are used. |
Revenue derived from electronic processing of the prepaid card transactions are recognized immediately as revenue and are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks as well as interchange and assessments paid to credit card associations such as MasterCard. Our receivables arise from the initial sale of the plastic card and the security tokens, which are invoiced with net 30-day terms.
Our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is that we recognize revenue when, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, issuance fee revenue for our prepaid cards is recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction occurs and posts, and maintenance and financial float fee revenue are recognized when the products are used. Consulting fees are recognized as work is performed and per contractual terms with the customer. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Companys accounts receivable arise from the sale of cards and security tokens and for application and set-up fees. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed for all of our customers and we generally do not require collateral.
We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy. The level of the allowance account and related bad debts are based upon our review of the collectability of our receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. We use the direct write-off method for accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectable and believe there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts as of November 30, 2010.
Property and Equipment
Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
Category |
Useful Lives |
|
Computers and networks | 3 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 5-7 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5-7 years | |
Office equipment | 3-10 years | |
Leasehold improvements | Lesser of lease term or useful life of asset |
Major additions will be capitalized, while minor additions, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, will be expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Intangible Assets and Impairment
Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually in our fourth fiscal quarter, or when events indicate that impairment exists.
We have a capitalized intangible asset with an indefinite life, which is the software license from World Processing, Ltd., the parent company of Global Cash Card (GCC), and associated fees relative to its modification to meet our needs. In recognition of the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of the asset, we will amortize this value over seven years, as it is anticipated that the software would continue to evolve with our needs.
10
The Company periodically reviews intangibles for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. If an asset is deemed impaired, the impairment loss is recognized in current earnings.
No impairment loss was recognized for the GCC software license for the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.
Purchased and Developed Software
Purchased and developed software includes the costs to purchase third-party software and to develop internal-use software for sale. The Company follows the guidance in Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use for capitalizing software projects.
Off-the-shelf software costs are amortized over the expected economic life of the product, generally three years.
Net Earnings or (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. All potential diluted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 as the effect of conversion is anti-dilutive.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has equity-based compensation plans, which are designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and to reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company.
Fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The variables used in the option pricing formula for each grant are determined at the time of grant as follows: (1) volatility is based on the weekly closing price of the Companys stock over a look-back period of time that approximates the expected option life; (2) risk-free interest rates are based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips as published in the Wall Street Journal or provided by a third-party on the date of the grant for the expected option life; and (3) expected option life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share Based Payment, allows companies to continue to use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of stock options under certain circumstances. The simplified method for estimating the expected life uses the mid-point between the vesting term and the contractual term of the stock option. The Company has analyzed the circumstances in which the simplified method is allowed and has determined that utilizing the simplified method for stock options granted is appropriate. However, for stock options that are fully vested upon grant, the Company uses an expected term of one year to calculate the expense.
The Company issues stock as compensation for services at the current market fair value. We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Prior to February 2009, the Company used quoted market prices as a basis for the fair value of the common stock. Beginning in February 2009, the Company issued significant amounts of common stock in exchange for cash, which was used to determine the fair value of the shares issued for services at or near the time of these issuances for cash.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recognized in the current period.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We have adopted certain disclosure requirements under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging which requires that objectives for using derivative financial instruments be disclosed in terms of the underlying risk and accounting designation. Additionally, ASC 815 requires that the fair value of derivative financial instruments and their gains and losses be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
Our use of a derivative instrument was limited to a guarantee included in the Settlement/Membership Interest Purchase Agreement of May 14, 2009, wherein the Company sold Atlas Merchant Services LLC back to its former owner. As part of the agreement, the Company supported a guarantee made by Mr. Gerber to one shareholder with respect to the Companys stock performance.
We had no material derivative financial instruments as of November 30, 2010.
Foreign Currency Transactions, Translation and Remeasurement
The financial position and results of operations of the FNDS3000 South Africa operations are measured using the parents currency, the U.S. dollar, as the functional currency; however, the original books and records are maintained in the South African Rand. Therefore, exchange rate gains and losses are considered to be transaction gains and losses.
Transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are generally included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change unless the transaction hedges a foreign currency commitment or a net investment in a foreign entity. Inter-company transactions of a long-term investment nature are considered part of a parents net investment and hence do not give rise to gains or losses. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the year.
Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the remeasurement of our foreign currency-denominated cash, receivables and payables, and generate currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income and expense levels in the respective period are reported in other income/(expense), net, in our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for
12
recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
For the period January 24, 2006 (inception) to November 30, 2010, the Company incurred net operating losses in an amount exceeding the net income. However, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of this deferred tax asset. At November 30, 2010, the Company had in excess of $6,000,000 of federal and state net operating losses (NOL) allocated to continuing operations available. The net operating loss carry forward, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2024.
For financial reporting purposes based upon continuing operations, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception.
Note 5 Recent Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (Topic 350)IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. We will adopt ASU 2010-28 in fiscal 2012 and any impairment to be recorded upon adoption will be recognized as an adjustment to our beginning retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-28 on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-22 regarding Accounting for Various Topics Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of FASBs Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-21 regarding Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies, which amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30ReceivableLoans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (Subtopic 310-30). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, ReceivablesTroubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13 regarding the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation, provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. Under Topic 718, awards of equity share options granted to an employee of an entitys foreign operation that provide a fixed exercise price denominated in (1) the foreign operations functional currency or (2) the currency in which the employees pay is
13
denominated should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. However, GAAP does not specify whether a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades has a market, performance or service condition. Diversity in practice has developed on the interpretation of whether such an award should be classified as a liability when the exercise price is not denominated in either the foreign operations functional currency or the currency in which the employees pay is denominated. This update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, which amends existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. ASU 2010-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU has not had an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent). This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Royalties
As part of the GCC Software License Agreement (the License) with World Processing, Ltd., royalties are to be paid at varying rates as various threshold quantities of transactions are achieved. These thresholds are to be considered in the aggregate with respect to all financial transactions that utilize the GCC software and will not be deemed an annual threshold or a threshold calculated on a per location basis. Accordingly, once royalties of $20,000 have been paid on the first million financial transactions, the Company will pay royalties of $60,000 for the next four million financial transactions; $50,000 for the next five million financial transactions; $200,000 for the next forty million transactions; and $2,500 for each million transactions thereafter. For the three months ended November 30, 2010, the Company accrued $6,700 for royalties expense.
Consulting Services
As a condition to the October 2008 Sherington Agreement closing, Michael Dodak, the former CEO, and David Fann, the former President and current Secretary and Director, agreed that their employment agreements would be converted to Consulting Agreements effective December 5, 2008 for Mr. Dodak and effective February 1, 2009 for Mr. Fann. Each agreement was for a monthly fee of $10,000. However, in conjunction with other cost-cutting measures initiated by the Company during the last fiscal year, September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010, and to contribute toward improving cash flow, Mr. Dodak and Mr. Fann agreed to defer a portion of their fees through September 30, 2010.
During September 2010, the Company paid a total of $8,500 toward the deferred amount. In October 2010, negotiations began regarding the possibility of a non-cash settlement of the remaining amount due.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K filed on November 29, 2010. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends that might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.
21
Future Uncertainties and Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. You should carefully review the risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K. When used in this report, the words expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, targets, estimates, and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable.
From time to time, representatives of FNDS3000 Corp (the Company, FNDS3000, we, our, its or us) may make public predictions or forecasts regarding the Companys future results, including estimates regarding future revenue, expense levels, earnings or earnings from operations. Any forecast regarding the Companys future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, and, as a matter of course, many of them will prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous factors (including those described in this discussion), many of which are beyond the Companys control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Companys performance will be consistent with any of managements forecasts or that the variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Investors are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of the Companys business and prospects upon isolated predictions, but instead are encouraged to utilize the entire available mix of historical and forward-looking information made available by the Company, and other information affecting the Company and its products, when evaluating the Companys prospective results of operations.
In addition, representatives of the Company may occasionally comment publicly on the perceived reasonableness of published reports by independent analysts regarding the Companys projected future performance. Such comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement or adoption of any given estimate or range of estimates or the assumptions and methodologies upon which such estimates are based. Undue reliance should not be placed on any comments regarding the conformity, or lack thereof, of any independent estimates with the Companys own present expectations regarding its future results of operations. The methodologies employed by the Company in arriving at its own internal projections and the approaches taken by independent analysts in making their estimates are likely different in many significant respects. Although the Company may presently perceive a given estimate to be reasonable, changes in the Companys business, market conditions or the general economic climate may have varying effects on the results obtained using differing analyses and assumptions. The Company expressly disclaims any continuing responsibility to advice analysts or the public markets of its view regarding the current accuracy of the published estimates of outside analysts. Persons relying on such estimates should pursue their own independent investigation and analysis of their accuracy and the reasonableness of the assumptions on which they are based.
BUSINESS
In accordance with Item 303 (b) (Instructions to Item 303 (b): 2), the Company recommends and presumes that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to our last annual filing (Form 10-K filing) filed November 29 2010; and in relation to this discussion and analysis, such users have in particular read the section of that document headed BUSINESS DESCRIPTION.
Process of Issuance
There are several steps in the process of getting prepaid cards productively in the hands of cardholders, and care must be taken in understanding the terminology used to describe the numbers of cards at the different steps. In the majority of our programs, the sequence of steps is as follows:
|
Cards ordered. The first step is an order by the corporate client for a number of blank cards. This may be made several months before the date of issuance. The corporate client pays the initial costs at this stage. |
22
|
Cards distributed. Upon manufacture and receipt of the cards, they are distributed to the corporate client and/or the custodian designated by them according to the clients timing schedule. |
|
Cards issued. Individual cards are identified with the names of specific individuals either as they are issued to the individual or preparatory to this step. |
|
Cards activated. Activation occurs when the cardholder sets a personal identification number (PIN). |
|
Cards loaded. This final step occurs when the corporate client loads funds into the personal record of the cardholder, making the card usable. |
Progress from September 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010
On October 19, 2010, to obtain funding for the further development of the business, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement with accredited investors who purchased 5,714,286 of the Companys common stock at a purchase price of $0.175 per share and warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 5,714,286 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.175 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
During the three months ended November 30, 2010, the quantity of cards issued to our customers increased approximately 12%; and the number of issued and active cards increased 52% from approximately 23,400 as of August 31, 2010 to 35,600. The amount of funds loaded onto cards this quarter increased 69% as compared to the previous quarter and the quantity of transactions increased approximately 62%.
Additionally, the Company implemented several strategic reorganizational initiatives specifically designed to streamline its senior management structure, reduce corporate overhead and strengthen its overall operating platform.
Key restructuring initiatives include:
|
changes to the composition of the Board of Directors, which has reduced the number of Board members from nine to four; |
|
expansion of the leadership role of current Chairman Raymond Goldsmith through his appointment to the additional posts of President and Chief Executive Officer, replacing the Companys former President and CEO John Hancock; |
|
the elimination of approximately $1,000,000 in annual expected corporate overhead expenses through corporate staff and cost reductions in the U.S.; and |
|
utilization of savings to be recognized from the reduction of corporate overhead expenses to support growth in our South Africa operations and expansion into other emerging markets. |
Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the notes thereto, as well as the other sections of this Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Quarterly Report. Our actual results may differ materially.
Our Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is provided as a supplement to our audited financial statements to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.

Cost of Revenue
For improved comparison of card- and transaction-related cost to revenue, certain costs are now presented as Processing, Technical and Financial Expense and are included in Operating Expense rather than as Cost of Revenue.
The cost of revenue will generally correspond with the change in revenue.
For the three months ended November 30, 2010, the cost of revenue was $227,402, an increase of $191,425, or 532.1%, as compared to $35,977 for the three months ended November 30, 2009. Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue were 62.4% for the three months ended November 30, 2010 as compared to 46.3% for the three months ended November 30, 2009.
During the three months ended November 30, 2010:
|
approximately $165,000, or 45.2%, of revenue was for ATM fee-related expense as compared to $12,000, or 15.7%, for the three months ended November 30, 2009; |
|
the cost of cards and tokens was approximately $27,000, or 7.3%, of revenue as compared to $21,000, or 23.9%, for the three months ended November 30, 2009; |
|
the cost of service charges was approximately $29,000, or 7.9%, of revenue as compared to $2,000, or 2.7%, for the three months ended November 30, 2009; and |
|
other fee-related charges totaled approximately $6,000, or 2.0%, of revenue as compared to $1,000, or 1.1%, for the three months ended November 30, 2009. |
24
Key to these increases is the number of issued and active cards during the three months ended November 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2009.
Gross Profit
Due to the presentation change as noted in Cost of Revenue the Company is reporting gross profit from operations.
The gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 was $137,277, or 37.6% of revenue, and $41,718, or 53.7% of revenue, respectively, an increase of $95,559, or 229.1%.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended November 30, 2010, total operating expense was $1,181,440, an increase of $120,314, or 11.3%, as compared to $1,061,126 for the three months ended November 30, 2009. Costs as a percentage of revenue were 324.0% for the three months ended November 30, 2010 as compared to 1,365.8% for the three months ended November 30, 2009.
During the three months ended November 30, 2010:
|
$379,736, or 104.1% of revenue, was for processing, technical and other financial fees associated with our card operations as compared to $168,758, or 217.2% of revenue, for the three months ended November 30, 2009; |

$357,078, or 97.9% of revenue, was for salaries and benefits as compared to $458,209, or 589.8% of revenue, for the three months ended November 30, 2009.

|
a decrease of $13,645 for accounts receivable; |
|
a decrease of $43,491 for prepaid expenses and other current assets; |
|
an increase of $4,772 for deposits; |

|
a decrease in accrued payroll and benefits of $4,428; and |
|
an increase of $49,404 in amounts due to related parties which, when adjusted to eliminate the effect of a $200,000 non-cash consulting expense component of the accrual, nets to a decrease of $150,596. |

|
an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $56,558 as the South Africa operations progress and additional products and services are needed; and |
|

Investing Activities
Our investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $42,766 for the three months ended November 30, 2010 as compared to a net cash outflow of $1,733 for the three months ended November 30, 2009.
In November 2010, the Company purchased a vehicle for $38,584 and various computer hardware and software for $4,183.
During the three months ended November 30, 2009, the Company replaced two computers for $1,733.
Financing Activities
As the Company sold 5,714,286 shares of stock in October 2010, our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $988,782, net of cash offering costs of $11,218, for the three months ended November 30, 2010.
During the three months ended November 30, 2009, the Company sold 11,791,428 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,783,060. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had received $719,000 and recorded a receivable of $1,081,000, which subsequently was received on December 2, 2009, as an offset to equity.
Presently, our revenue is not sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as the continuation of our business is dependent upon successful roll out of our products and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011.
We require funds to enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses, continue with marketing and promotion activity connected with the development and marketing of our products and increase market share. We anticipate that our cash on hand and the revenue that we anticipate generating going forward from our operations may not be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements as we continue to progress and expand. We estimate that we will require approximately $1.75 to $2.25 million to carry out our business plan for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2011. Because we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate significant revenues from sales, we will need to raise additional funds to continue to develop our business, respond to competitive pressures and to respond to unanticipated requirements or expenses. If we are not able to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products, we will not be able to maintain our operations or achieve a profitable level of operations. Based on managements detailed financial forecasts, if the management volume test phase proceeds as planned, the Company has sufficient financial resources to carry through to generation of a revenue stream that will cover costs. However, any delays will introduce a need for additional funding at a level of some $200,000 to $250,000 for each month of delay.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2010, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional
27
note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
The financial requirements of our Company may be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities of our directors and additional sales of our equity securities to our directors and shareholders or new shareholders. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Should additional financing be needed, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. We do not currently have any plans to merge with another company, and we have not entered into any agreements or understandings for any such merger.
We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any phase, all phases of the proposed business plan, or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company presently does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Royalties
As part of the GCC Software License Agreement (the License) with World Processing, Ltd., royalties are to be paid at varying rates as various threshold quantities of transactions are achieved. These thresholds are to be considered in the aggregate with respect to all financial transactions that utilize the GCC software and will not be deemed an annual threshold or a threshold calculated on a per location basis. Accordingly, once royalties of $20,000 have been paid on the first million financial transactions, the Company will pay royalties of $60,000 for the next four million financial transactions; $50,000 for the next five million financial transactions; $200,000 for the next forty million transactions; and $2,500 for each million transactions thereafter. For the three months ended November 30, 2010, the Company accrued $6,700 for royalties expense.
Consulting Services
As a condition to the October 2008 Sherington Agreement closing, Michael Dodak, the former CEO, and David Fann, the former President and current Secretary and Director, agreed that their employment agreements would be converted to Consulting Agreements effective December 5, 2008 for Mr. Dodak and effective February 1, 2009 for Mr. Fann. Each agreement was for a monthly fee of $10,000. However, in conjunction with other cost-cutting measures initiated by the Company during the last fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, and to contribute toward improving cash flow, Mr. Dodak and Mr. Fann agreed to defer a portion of their fees through September 30, 2010. During September 2010, the Company paid a total of $8,500 toward the deferred amount. In October, negotiations began regarding the possibility of a non-cash settlement of the remaining amount due. In early November, the Company entered into settlement agreements with both Mr. Dodak and Mr. Fann. The agreements stipulated an immediate payment of $30,000 to each, with a remaining value of $100,000 due to both to be paid in common stock of the Company.
Employment Agreements
On July 17, 2008, Joseph F. McGuire was hired as Chief Financial Officer with a starting salary of $65,000 and a grant of 500,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.39 per share and with a vesting period. On October 15, 2008, and after Mr. McGuire had met certain performance criteria, the Company and he entered into a three-year employment agreement. The agreement increased his salary to $130,000 and he received a grant of an additional 500,000 stock options with immediate vesting and with an exercise price equal to the closing price on October 15, 2008. Included in this agreement is an annual award of 500,000 common stock options.
On July 14, 2010, Mr. McGuire entered into a revised employment agreement, which replaced the prior agreement. The term of this agreement is for one year however, the CEO of the Company, within his sole discretion, may extend this agreement if consented to by Mr. McGuire. In consideration for continuing to serve as the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. McGuire shall receive an annual salary of $130,000 and an annual bonus determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. McGuire, together with other executives and staff, has agreed to reduce his annual salary to $120,250 until the Board of Directors have determined that Companys cash flows support the payment of salary in full. Further, the parties have agreed that the unvested portion of the stock option to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock previously granted to Mr. McGuire shall be accelerated so that the stock option shall now be fully vested.
If Mr. McGuires employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause at any time prior July 17, 2011, Mr. McGuire shall receive from the Company severance pay in an amount equal to the greater of (i) his then-current base compensation in effect at the time of such termination through either September 30, 2011 or (ii) twelve months from the date of notice, all unpaid benefits such as accrued vacation and all outstanding expenses and any declared but unpaid annual bonus. If Mr. McGuires employment with the Company is terminated by the Company by virtue of the expiration of the McGuire Agreement on July 17, 2011, Mr. McGuire shall be entitled to continue to receive from the Company the balance of his salary still owed to him in accordance with the Companys general payroll practices as well as any declared but unpaid annual bonus
29
On August 30, 2010, the Company and Robert Klein entered into a Contract of Employment whereby Mr. Klein agreed to serve as the Chief Executive Officer, South Africa commencing September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Klein an annual salary of $200,000 as well as to provide Mr. Klein with standard benefits.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate estimates, including those related to stock based compensation and revenue recognition on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of fees generated through the electronic processing of payment transactions and related services, and are recognized as revenue in the period the transactions are processed or when the related services are performed.
Our revenue is derived from the following:
|
Initiation fees from sales of our prepaid and stored-value cards. |
|
Transaction fees from the use and loading of cash for the prepaid and stored-value cards. |
|
Maintenance fees for continued activation. |
|
Financial float fees, which arise from cash obtained with the instant load of cash and convenience of prepaid cards before the funds are used. |
Revenues derived from electronic processing of the prepaid card transactions are recognized immediately as revenue and are reported gross of amounts paid to sponsor banks as well as interchange and assessments paid to credit card associations such as MasterCard. Our receivables arise from the initial sale of the plastic card and the security tokens, which are invoiced with net 30-day terms.
Our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is that we recognize revenue when, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, issuance fee revenue for our prepaid cards is recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction occurs and posts, and maintenance and financial float fee revenue are recognized when the products are used. Consulting fees are recognized as work is performed and per contractual terms with the customer. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Companys accounts receivable arise from our customers purchases of the plastic cards and security tokens. Our credit terms are net 30 days from the date of shipment. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of all of our customers and generally do not require collateral.
We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy. The level of the allowance account, and related bad debts is based upon our review of the collectability of our receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. We use the direct write-off method for accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectable and believe there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
30
The Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts as of November 30, 2010.
Property and Equipment
Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
Category |
Useful Lives |
|
Computers and networks |
3 years | |
Machinery and equipment |
5-7 years | |
Furniture and fixtures |
5-7 years | |
Office equipment |
3-10 years | |
Leasehold improvements |
Lesser of lease term or useful life of asset |
Major additions will be capitalized, while minor additions, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, will be expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Long-Lived Assets and Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment.
We have a capitalized intangible asset, which is the purchase of the software license from World Processing, Ltd., the parent company GCC, and associated fees relative to its modification to meet our needs. In recognition of the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of the asset, we will amortize this value over seven years, as it is anticipated that the software would continue to grow with our needs. Additionally, annual impairment tests are performed with any impairment recognized in current earnings.
We assessed the impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, specifically the software license, and that review indicated that there has been no impairment to the fair value of the license as of August 31, 2010.
Equity - Based Compensation
Fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The variables used in the option pricing formula for each grant are determined at the time of grant as follows: (1) volatility is based on the weekly closing price of the Companys stock over a look-back period of time that approximates the expected option life; (2) risk-free interest rates are based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips as published in the Wall Street Journal or provided by a third-party on the date of the grant for the expected option life; and (3) expected option life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share Based Payment. allows companies to continue to use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of stock options under certain circumstances. The simplified method for estimating the expected life uses the mid-point between the vesting term and the contractual term of the stock option. The Company has analyzed the circumstances in which the simplified method is allowed and has determined that utilizing the simplified method for stock options granted is appropriate. However, for stock options that are fully vested upon grant, the Company uses an expected term of one year to calculate the expense.
The Company issues stock as compensation for services at the current market fair value. We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Prior to February 2009, the Company used quoted market prices as a basis for the fair value of the common stock. Beginning in February 2009, the Company issued significant amounts of common stock in exchange for cash, which was used to determine the fair value of the shares issued for services at or near the time of these issuances for cash.
31
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recognized in the current period.
Foreign Currency Transactions, Translation and Remeasurement
The financial position and results of operations of the FNDS3000 South Africa operations are measured using the parents currency, the U.S. Dollar, as the functional currency; however, the original books and records are maintained in the South African Rand. Therefore, exchange rate gains and losses are considered to be transaction gains and losses.
Transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are generally included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change unless the transaction hedges a foreign currency commitment or a net investment in a foreign entity. Inter-company transactions of a long-term investment nature are considered part of a parents net investment and hence do not give rise to gains or losses. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the year.
Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated cash, receivables and payables, and generate currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period are reported in other (income) expense, net, in our consolidated financial statements.
